Gil e Jorge

Gil e Jorge pairs Jorge Ben with Gilberto Gil. The two perform together with the percussionist Djalma Corrêa on every song, improvising and interacting directly, and in Brazil it came out as Ogum Xangô, the names of two Yoruba spirits, under a different cover. Four of the nine songs are by Gil, four are by Ben and one is by both, with Taj Mahal the longest at nearly fifteen minutes.

Reviewing the 1993 CD reissue in the Village Voice, Robert Christgau wrote that the pair were playing a rhythm game, "and they won." AllMusic's John Bush believed it was by far the best album in Gil's discography, and Rolling Stone Brasil listed it among the 100 best Brazilian albums in 2007.
